Description
- This application is a divisional of co-pending Application No. 09/628,647, filed on Jul. 28, 2000, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference and for which priority is claimed under 35 U.S.C. § 120; and this application claims priority of Application No. 2000-2887 filed in Korea on Jan. 21, 2000 under 35 U.S.C. § 119.
- The present invention relates to a semiconductor package and a fabricating method therefor, and more particularly, to a chip size package (hereinafter abbreviated CSP) of a wafer level and a fabricating method therefor.
- Recently, chip size package (CSP) technolgies have been introduced in the art of semiconductor packaging. The CSP technologies permit elecrical connections between a semiconductor chip and a circuit boad to be contained within the area below the periphery of the chip itself, such that the package can be nearly as small as the chip.
- As one of the CSP technologies, a wafer level packaging technique in which the semiconductor chips can be packaged in a wafer state without being separated into individual chips is highlighted in the art.
- Conventional packaging processes of the semiconductor hcip have been carried out after the wafer is divided into respective individual chips. Contrary to that, wafer level packaging processes are completed in the wafer state before the wafer is divided into the respective individual packages.
- FIGS. 1A to FIGS. 1E show a process of fabricating a semiconductor package according to a related art.
- The drawings illustrate a chip for a single package of a wafer. Left parts of the drawings show layouts of a package, while right parts show cross-sectional views of the package schematically.
- Referring to FIG. 1A,
chip pads 12 are formed on asemiconductor chip 11 on which predetermined patterns of circuit have been formed. Thechip pads 12 connect the circuit of thesemiconductor chip 11 to external circuits(not shown in the drawing). - Referring to FIG. 1B, a first insulating
layer 13 covering an exposed surface of thesemiconductor chip 11 is formed of an insulating substance for easing stress. One of polyimide and benzo-cyclobutane(BCB) may be used for the insulating substance for easing stress. - Then, contact holes exposing portions of the
chip pads 12 are formed in the first insulatinglayer 13. - Referring to FIG. 1C, after a metal layer has been formed to cover the exposed portions of the
chip pads 12 and the first insulatinglayer 13, ametal wiring layer 14 connected to thechip pads 12 is formed on the first insulatinglayer 13. - The
metal wiring layer 14 usually consists of 2 to 3 layers for excellent electric conductivity between the semiconductor chip and the external circuits. Namely, after metal wiring layers of the same or different kind have been stacked, themetal wiring layer 14 is patterned by carrying out photolithography on the respective layers. Besides, an electroplated layer may be coated on the surface of themetal wiring layer 14 additionally to increase the thickness of thelayer 14. - Referring to FIG. 1D, a second insulating
layer 15 covering an exposed entire surface of the substrate is formed of an insulating substance to protect themetal wiring layer 14. Then, portions of themetal wiring layers 14 are exposed by forming contact holes through the second insulatinglayer 15. - Referring to FIG. 1E,
solder balls 17 connected to the exposed portions of themetal wiring layers 14 are attached thereon. In this case, as the secondinsulating layer 15 is used as a solder mask layer by which solder balls are attached to themetal wiring layers 14 through flux screen printing, solder ball attachment, and reflowing. - In this case, in order to enhance the attachment between the
solder ball 17 and themetal wiring layer 14, an under-bump metal layer 16 may be formed of a substance of which attachment capacity is very high therebetween. - Then, the fabrication of a semiconductor package is completed after following steps such as dicing, etc. have been carried out.
- FIG. 2 shows a case of mounting a semiconductor package produced by the above-mentioned fabricating process on a printed circuit board (hereinafter abbreviated PCB).
- Referring to FIG. 2,
metal wiring layers 14 are connected tochip pads 12 on asemiconductor chip 11. Asemiconductor package 10 of whichsolder balls 17 are connected to themetal wiring layers 14 is contacted withPCB pads 22 of aPCB substrate 21. That is, thesemiconductor package 10 is mounted onteh PCB substrate 21 while thesolder balls 17 are connected to thePCB pads 22. - Unfortunately, reliability of a metal wire is very poor in the semiconductor package structure of the related art. While devices constructing the semiconductor chip are working, heat expansion between the PCB substrate and the semiconductor chip occurs due to resistance heat generated from the devices.
- During this reaction, stress is concentrated on the solder balls connecting the PCB substrate and the semiconductor chip which produce the difference of heat expansion rate. Therefore, break-down of metal wire appears as the peripheral metal substances such as metal wiring layers, under-bump metal layers near the solder ball attached parts experience fatigue due to heat stress.
- In the semiconductor package according to the related art, heat expansion rates of the chip pads of the semiconductor chip and the solder mask layer of the second insulating layer result in a great difference. Such difference in heat expansion rates between the chip pads and the solder mask layer causes the concentration of heat stress on the metal wiring layers lying therebetween, more particularly, on the portions of the metal wiring layers on the chip pads. Thereby, poor results such as breakdown and stripping of the metal wires on the chip pads occur.
- Moreover, as the semiconductor package is fabricated through various steps of forming a first insulating layer for easing stress, forming multi-stacked metal wiring layers in use of sputtering apparatus, increasing the thickness of metal wiring layers, and etching respective metal layers in use of respective etchants, yield of the fabrication method of the semiconductor package is reduced due to the complicated steps of fabrication according to the related art.
- Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a semiconductor package and a fabricating method thereof that substantially obviate one or more of the problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.
- The object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor package and a fabricating method thereof which prevent the damages of metal wires in the related art from being generated by using both low-elastic stress-easing substances and polymer substances having electric conductivity.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor package and a fabricating method thereof which simplify the fabrication steps by introducing the improved structure which is resulted from low-elastic stress-easing substances and polymer substances.

The objectives and other advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings.

Thesemiconductor package 30A includeschip pads 32 formed in a first area on a predetermined portion of asemiconductor chip 31, a stress-easing layer 33 thicker than thechip pads 32 and formed in a second area on another predetermined portion of thesemiconductor chip 31,conductive wires 34 formed to cover the stress-easing layer 33 as well as connected to thechip pads 32 and made of electrically-conductive polymer substances, and bumps 35 made of low-elastic electrically-conductive polymers formed on theconductive wires 34 over the stress-easing layer 33. - The
semiconductor package 30A, of which bumps 35 made of low-elastic electrically-conductive polymers are contacted and connected to thePCB pads 42 of thePCB substrate 41, is mounted on thePCB substrate 41. - Under the above circumstances, while devices constructing the semiconductor chip are being operated, the
PCB substrate 41 and thesemiconductor chip 31 experience thermal expansion owing to resistance heat generated from the devices. In this case, stress of thermal expansion, which is generated from the difference of thermal expansion rates of thePCB substrate 41 and thesemiconductor chip 31, is concentrated on thebumps 35 and stress-easing layer 33 which connect thePCB substrate 41 to thesemiconductor chip 31. - Yet, the
bumps 35 and stress-easing layer 33, which are made of low-elastic polymer substances, release the stress due to the difference of thermal expansion rates of thesemiconductor chip 31 and thePCB substrate 41 by absorbing the stress. - Therefore, the poor results of wires of the related art are prevented by the present invention.
- Moreover, the present invention increases the reliance of the wires by reducing the stress on the wires as the area occupied by the insulating layer beneath the
conductive wires 34 is greatly reduced and the wires are formed of electrically-conductive polymer substances instead of metal substances which may cause breakdown of wires due to fatigue. - As mentioned in the above description of the present invention, the low-elastic stress-easing layer which is patterned to leave a portion to which the bumps will be attached is rearranged in use of general electrically-conductive polymer substances instead of using metal wires.

easing layer 33 is formed on a predetermined portion of thesemiconductor chip 31 by coating an exposed surface of thesemiconductor substrate 31 with a low-elastic insulating polymer substance then by carrying out photolithography.

easing layer 33 of low-elastic polymer substances. - Referring to FIG. 5C, after a layer of low-elastic electrically conductive polymer substance has been formed on the surface of the substrate,
conductive wires 34 connecting thechip pads 31 to the stress-easing layer 33 are formed by photolithography. In this case, for the purpose of wire reliability, the conductive wires are formed enough to cover the stress-easing layer 33. - Besides, another substance of which electric conductivity is excellent such as Ag may be added to the low-elastic electrically conductive polymer substances for forming the
conductive wires 34 such as epoxy group or silicone group. - Referring to FIG. 5D, bumps35 are formed on the
conductive wires 34 over the stress-easing layer 33 in use of low-elastic electrically-conductive polymer substances. In this case, the step of forming thebumps 35 with the low-elastic electrically-conductive substances may be carried out by screen printing or by conventional coating and photolithography. Thickness of thebump 35 may be controlled by both thicknesses of the stress-easing layer 33 and theconductive wire 34. - Another substance of which electric conductivity is excellent, such as Ag, may be added to the low-elastic electrically conductive polymer substances for forming the
conductive wires 34 such as epoxy group or silicone group to form thebumps 35. - Then, following steps such as dicing, etc. are carried out to complete the fabrication of the semiconductor package.
